[edit] Career
Laštůvka started his career at Czech side MFK Karviná and moved in summer 2000 to FC Baník Ostrava for four years.
[edit] Shakhtar Donetsk
The next step in his career was Ukrainian top club Shakhtar Donetsk. He played a couple of Champions-League and UEFA Cup-matches with this time.
[edit] Fulham
He joined Fulham on August 31, 2006, just prior to the close of the transfer window. He made his Fulham league debut on December 2, 2006 in a 2-0 loss against Blackburn Rovers.
On January 1, 2007 he came on as a second half substitute for the injured Antti Niemi against Watford, where throughout the game the Fulham fans cheered his every kick or save, as they feared he would make a mistake and cost them the game. The game ended 0-0. He left Fulham after manager Lawrie Sanchez decided not to pay the asking fee Shakhtar wanted for Laštůvka.[1]
[edit] VfL Bochum
According to the Ukrainian League regulations there have to be four domestic players on the field. Because of this rule they didn't want to take Laštůvka back. So he went on a loan to German side VfL Bochum until the end of the 2007-2008 season to replace his compatriot Jaroslav Drobný, who left the club for Hertha BSC Berlin.
Laštůvka started the season as first keeper. But after some mistakes his position was threatened by the reserve keepers. After an injury third keeper René Renno got his place. Ironically second goalkeeper Philipp Heerwagen had a minor injury at that time. Renno started quite well but also made some mistakes before the winter break. So coach Marcel Koller claimed that all three keepers started at zero in the preparations for the second season half. After the winter break Laštůvka was first keeper again and started with a very good match against Werder Bremen which was rewarded with a nomination in the 'Team of the Day' by Germany's leading football magazine Der Kicker. However, at the end of the season Bochum was interested to sign him but due to the high transfer fee (4 million Euro) they decided to sign the Portuguese keeper Fernandes from PAOK F.C..
[edit] West Ham United
On the August 3, 2008 Laštůvka signed for West Ham on a years long loan deal.[2] He made his debut for West Ham United in a Football League Cup 3rd Round tie away defeat at Watford on September 23, 2008.[3]On 26 May 2009 it was announced that Laštůvka was returning to FC Shakhtar Donetsk, having made only one appearance for West Ham.[4]
[edit] Dnipro
On 04 August 2009 Shakhtar's Laštůvka has signed a three-years deal with Ukrainian team FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk by €3million transfer. [5]
